3. Jacksonville Jaguars

Blaine Gabbert was sacked 12 times in his first four games in 2012, and it's clear that the Jacksonville Jaguars need to give their young quarterback better protection.

Joeckel is a big man with athleticism who possesses outstanding lateral movement. He's a phenomenal natural pass-blocker, and he is also a capable run-blocker who uses good technique and pad level to drive his man back.

He's the best offensive tackle in this year's draft, and he's the most logical choice for the Jags here.

4. Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders have more needs than any other team in the NFL, but they'll be happy to take the best pass-rusher in the 2013 NFL Draft here at No. 4 overall.

Mingo has an explosive first step, and his ability to get around bigger, athletic men is truly impressive. The Raiders have a desperate need for a pass-rusher, so this marriage of need vs. best player available makes sense all the way around.

5. New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints have been unable to stop the run so far this year. The biggest reason for this is that the team is lacking any real beef in the middle of its defense.

Lotulelei, at 6'3" and 320 pounds, is just the man this team needs to plug up the middle on defense. His strength, agility and initial burst demands that teams double team him, and he'd be a huge upgrade over Brodrick Bunkley and Sedrick Ellis.

6. Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans are struggling on defense, and one of the biggest reasons this team can't stop anyone's passing game is because nobody's getting pressure on the opposing quarterback.

It's crazy to think that two of the best pass-rushers in college are on the same team, but Montgomery and Barkevious Mingo are surely going to go in the Top 10 this upcoming spring.

Montgomery looks really explosive this year, and it's clear that he's fully recovered from the knee injury that he suffered a couple of years ago. He's put on a ton of muscle in the past couple of years, and I'd expect him to continue getting stronger and more explosive as he gets older.

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Greg Schiano is dedicated to running the ball and playing solid defense, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers need talented defenders to make his vision into a reality.

Jones is the best player on the board at this point, and the Bucs have a need at outside linebacker.

While Jones plays in a 3-4 scheme at Georgia, his skill set translates well for a 4-3 alignment. He is fast, athletic and runs well in space, and he'd be a handful for opposing offenses playing behind the studs on the Bucs defensive line.

8. Carolina Panthers

Keenan Allen, Wide Receiver, California

While the Carolina Panthers have needs across the board, Allen will be too tempting to pass up here at this point in the draft. Steve Smith won't be around much longer, and the Panthers don't have a ton of depth at the wide receiver position.

Allen is a tremendous threat with the ball in his hands, and he does his best work after the catch. He has good size, speed and hands, and he'd be a welcome addition to Cam Newton's offense.

9. Detroit Lions

Opposing quarterbacks have had their way with this unit, and they have combined for a passer rating of 101.3 with five touchdowns and zero interceptions.

Amerson is a legitimate cover cornerback, and he's the best of this year's draft class. At 6'2" and 194 pounds, he has the size, speed, strength and hands to shut down many of the NFL's top receivers one on one.

10. Indianapolis Colts

Andrew Luck is already an incredible quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, and once he starts getting some protection, he's going to blossom into one of the league's best.

Fluker is better known as a mauling run-blocker for Alabama, but he's just as much of a standout in the passing game. He's growing by leaps and bounds in his junior season, and his unique blend of nasty and athleticism will make him into a cornerstone player for the lucky team that drafts him next April.

11. Miami Dolphins

Ryan Tannehill has already shown himself to be a capable starting quarterback in the NFL. Imagine how good he'd be with a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver on his side.

Hunter is going to be a special receiver in the NFL. At 6'4" and 200 pounds, he is an excellent route runner with terrific hands and the ability to leap for balls and snag them at the highest point. He'd help turn a burgeoning young offense into a powerhouse, given a couple of years to mesh with Tannehill.

12. New York Jets

Mark Sanchez's days with the New York Jets are numbered. He may not be finished as a pro quarterback, but he's taken too many negative hits in New York to make it work.

Barkley is eerily similar to Sanchez in how they play the game. Both are highly accurate when allowed to run quick timing patterns unmolested, and both have the ability to get the ball deep when needed.

13. Seattle Seahawks

Despite their best attempts to amend a porous offensive line in Seattle, the Seahawks are still without the answers they've been seeking at offensive tackle.

Wagner isn't as well known at this time as guys like Luke Joeckel or D.J. Fluker, but he will be by the time the NFL draft combine takes place next spring.

At 6'6" and 320 pounds, Wagner has ideal size and agility to compete with NFL defensive ends from day one. He's going to be an instant starter for any team in need of an offensive tackle, and the Seahawks would be foolish to pass on him here.

The Minnesota Vikings have been impressive thus far to start the 2012 season, but they're bound to come crashing down to earth as the season wears on. They need a top-flight middle linebacker to run their defense, and Te'o is the perfect man for the job.

16. Arizona Cardinals

Tyler Wilson, Quarterback, Arkansas

Wilson is making pretty good lemonade out of the lemons he's been given this year at the University of Arkansas. Not only is the program in turmoil after losing Bobby Petrino, but the team's best receivers left last year via the 2012 NFL draft.

Although the Arizona Cardinals won their first four games of the season, it was only a matter of time before Kevin Kolb's inability to throw accurately under pressure was exposed. The Cards need a legitimate franchise quarterback to run their offense, and Wilson will be a good one.

19. Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals have the makings of an impressive secondary with their strong contingency of cornerbacks, but this team desperately needs safety help.

You know it's bad when the Bengals are forced to start Taylor Mays at strong safety.

Rambo is an excellent pro prospect who has the talent to play both safety positions, if needed. He is a powerful tackler who can take on running backs at the line of scrimmage and win. Additionally, Rambo is a rangy center fielder who has good ball skills—a significant upgrade over the players the Bengals currently have on the roster.

20. St. Louis Rams

The St. Louis Rams recently gave Steven Jackson an out next year so he can test free agency, according to StLouisRams.com.

And, although Isaiah Pead is a capable running back, he's not anywhere close to being in the same league as Lattimore—this year's clear-cut No. 1 running back.

Lattimore's specialty is his nose for the end zone. In 25 career games, Lattimore has rushed for 35 touchdowns. He's a powerful runner with a nice burst and excellent vision, and the Rams wouldn't skip a beat with him in the lineup should they lose Jackson after this year.

21. Chicago Bears

Barrett Jones, Offensive Guard, Alabama

Jones is listed as a guard, but he's so much more than that. Jones can play all five offensive line positions with skill, and the Chicago Bears are in desperate need of a guy like that on their roster.

Jones isn't just versatile. He's as technically sound as any offensive lineman I've seen in the past few years, and he'll be a plug-and-play left guard for the Bears from the start of training camp in 2013.

22. Philadelphia Eagles

Mark D. Smith-US PRESSWIRE

Jackson Jeffcoat, Defensive End, Texas

The rich get richer.

The Philadelphia Eagles don't necessarily need another pass-rusher, but given their propensity to collect them, and given the fact that Jeffcoat is the best player left on the board, the team won't be able to resist.

Jeffcoat is still raw and his frame is begging for another 20-25 pounds of muscle. That said, his quick first step and natural pass-rushing prowess makes him an attractive player here toward the end of the first round.

23. San Diego Chargers

Melina Vastola-US PRESSWIRE

Xavier Rhodes, Cornerback, Florida State

The San Diego Chargers are loaded on defense except for the cornerback position. This team has other needs, specifically on the offensive line, but they'd be reaching for any offensive lineman at this point.

Rhodes, at 6'1" and 217 pounds, is a massive man for a cornerback. He also possesses excellent speed, agility and instincts—not to mention a knack for getting his hands on the football. He is a press-corner who loves a physical challenge, and he'd be an instant upgrade over Antoine Cason.

24. St. Louis Rams (via Washington Redskins)

Da'Rick Rogers, Wide Receiver, Tennessee Tech

Rogers was indefinitely suspended from Tennessee back in August (h/t Yahoo! Sports), and he has some personal baggage that he'll have to answer for in the interview process at the NFL Scouting Combine next spring.

That said, his physical abilities rival that of Julio Jones, and we've already seen Jeff Fisher take on one project in Janoris Jenkins.

Rogers would give Sam Bradford the legitimate No. 1 wide receiver he's been missing ever since joining the team a few years back.

27. Denver Broncos

DeMarcus Milliner, Cornerback, Alabama

Champ Bailey isn't going to last much longer, and the Denver Broncos would be smart to look to the future before it's too late.

Milliner, at 6'0" and 185 pounds, possesses good speed to go along with his size, and best of all, he's really quick to react when he sees a play develop and has the hands to make difference-making plays on defense.

28. Green Bay Packers

Taylor Lewan, Offensive Tackle, Michigan

It's clear after five games this season that Marshall Newhouse isn't going to cut it as Aaron Rodgers' blind-side protector going forward. In fact, it isn't a stretch to say that Newhouse has been a disaster so far this year—not to mention the entire offensive line of the Green Bay Packers.

Lewan is a strong, stout lineman with decent lateral movement and a nasty attitude. He'll relish the chance to protect Rodgers' blind side, and even if he's not ready for that role immediately, Brian Bulaga could always slide over to the left side while Lewan mans the right side for a while.

32. Houston Texans

I keep waiting for the Houston Texans to find a second receiver to take pressure from Andre Johnson, and I keep on getting disappointed.

Williams, at 6'2" and 205 pounds, has the physical traits you look for in a No. 1 receiver, and though he's a bit raw right now, he will flourish with Matt Schaub tossing him balls on a regular basis.

He has enough speed to get separation downfield, and his hands are nice and soft. Williams will help the Texans take their offense to the next level in 2013—as if this team needed any more help right now.
